Fenty is a punk. A petty and petulant boy playing at major. I just hope someone of quality runs against him.

Please leave Fenty's nasal voice out of it. Mine isn't expressive either. But do read the transcript and appreciate the repetition of stock phrases, including what must be mock-praise of others that resembles the way he's been taught to address young children.
These questions were not acerbic or openly hostile. A capable person could have composed a thoughtful several-sentence paragraph in response to the overall issue. A capable pol would discipline himself to voice lessons to roust the whining tone.

In this racist society, Fenty can count on the majority of citizens to not notice the difference between Fenty and Booker (or Schmoke, or .... and the list goes on.) And many women are as much to blame for being in his base as men who fantasized about Sarah Palin. I'd like City Paper to find a writer or panel of them to take on Fenty's tri-athlete / mocha male-stripper self-presentation. The man of the right shade and shave, (as eg Vincent Orange was not and could not be.)

Has I said before and I'll say it again he's a jerk, arrogrant and egomaniac. He is just like George Bush the only thing is I'm not going to stand by and take 4 more years of this we need an adult not a baby that needs the crypt keeper to bottle feed him or get his ass out of trouble when he opens his dumb trap.

Why has it taken sooo long for folks to see this incompetence? Williams wasn't great, but he had a TRANSPARENT organization. Remember the WEEKLY press conferences. Responsiveness, etc.... wow. this is just sad.

Bowser got tickets but are we really surprised? During her re-election campaign Bowser also got Fenty's (city paid) advisor John Falcicchio as her campaign manager. Much of Falcicchio's "campaign managing" for Bowser occured while he was being paid w/ city funds to work as the mayor's advisor. And out of all the councilmembers, everyone is well aware that Bowser is the biggest Fenty sucker. I can't believe the folks in Ward 4 can't get better representation than Muriel Bowser! And regarding Fenty's overall responses, its not solely that Fenty is an idiot...the issue is that Fenty is a bad liar. His responses are like a stuttering child lying to their parents about who ate the last cookie. Either its that, or again maybe the boy has an undiagnosed speech impediment and or mild autisim. I wonder if Mo' or rhee-rhee got any tickets?

If voters had paid more attention to when he was on the City Council and when he was on the campaign trail, they wouldn't be surprised at what they're seeing now. Fenty has always been this way.

Andrew, JimBob, et al. - you're absolutely right. Fenty is a moron. You may not have noticed before, & Fenty's incessant babbling of stock phrases & jargon is distracting, but if you ever look at his exact words, you'll find he rarely makes any sense whatsoever.

Fenty just isn't good in situations like this -- those that require on-the-spot thinking and, more than anything else, basic management skills. He'll definitely keep my vote next year because of his guts with regard to school policy. But, I think we've all got to be honest, he's not what we'd hoped he'd be. Again, hooray for he and Rhee's tenacity on school reform, but it's becoming more and more apparent this job is too big for him. He certainly isn't Bloomberg, or Newsom or Villaraigosa or any of the other Big City mayors he aspires to be.
